Angie Jan 13 2022 10:17 pm Went into this movie expecting a nice, funny, maybe a few tears shed here and there but in the end, I Sobbed. I love this movie and will show it to my family so they can suffer with me.

hana Feb 28 2019 7:58 am Just finished watch this movie.. at the first,a bit slow..but at the end...it make me cry..plese prepare the tissue. .

overall nice story

bababanana Nov 23 2018 1:56 am it gets a little boring for the first half, i know... but keep going. trust me, the end is worth everything. and prepare a box of tissue by your side

Ye won Nov 03 2018 1:40 am This movie made me cry

August Aug 15 2018 10:49 am This movie is good, watched it 7 years ago, kinda boring and dragging in the middle but good overall.

DeviousKim Jan 25 2018 12:21 pm A must watch Korean movie! It has a wonderful story and great acting by Cha Tae Hyun. We need more movies like this.

Alis Nov 01 2017 11:55 am Watch this movie couple of times. Didn't finish the first time I'm watching it. The first 30minutes a bit flat imo. Decide to watch it again today as there nothing good on TV. Manage to finish it and it is a worthy decision. The moment he recall who those ghosts were really is a tear-jerking moment.

helmyabach Aug 24 2017 8:54 am What is the name of the fish candy?

kdrama addict Jan 20 2017 8:03 am highly recommend this movie!!! it made me cry and my sister... in the movie its like for a minute we're laughing and then crying :(

jiki May 10 2016 1:17 pm this movie is so sad, I'm watching this movie in family room, so I'm very shy because I cried out :'( little tears. Wait, gang ye won > emi takei isn't? *kabur naik delman*

Hannah Mar 29 2016 6:24 am Watch this because cha tae hyun, the first couple minutes bore me.. And then the story grow a little.. And the end of it is crazy good !!! Glad I watched this, I usually didn't really enjoy the story line of korean movie, but this one is awesome!! If you kind of person who read the comment to decide to watch it or not, then it is worth watching!!! Cha tae hyun is always play in a good movie, and this movie just proved it !!

demii hal Feb 13 2016 2:00 am Cried my eyes out watching this movie.

Spoiler!

I thought after the ghosts leaves he will just be sad because he will miss them and feels empty because they are not with him anymore but I was really surprise with the plot twist. Him not remembering who they are and not recognizing is so heart-wrenching and tear-jerking plus the moment when he realize that all their wishes was for him and connected to his past. Dang-it!! I thought this will just be a comedy romance movie where I can laugh my heart out but this movie made me cry a LOT! Jjang

MUST WATCH!!! grade A+

Mawi Sep 06 2015 7:07 pm It's really a good movie. You will really learn something in it.

abudiset Jun 14 2015 7:58 am didnt think that i would cry in the end..very touching!

ace Oct 17 2014 11:24 pm I almost did not watch this. Having just finishes watching similar fare right before. But I gave it a chance and was rewarded with a pretty straightforward ghost story. A lot of pathos in the humor and touching in just the right way.

zhi Jun 11 2014 4:38 am I watched it twice.. i cried twice...more the second time... a very good movie.. a must watch korean movie. :)

Min Koo Apr 17 2014 12:01 am Amazing movie haven't cried legitimately from a movie in a long time.

kormoviesrgreat Feb 08 2014 3:04 pm a complete package of a korean movie u can ask for, comedy, melodrama, romance. i was contented when i was watching the movie as a comedy, but a sudden turn of emotion hit me when he realized who were the ghosts was. this is a must-watch movie, u will miss one of the greatest korean movies if u havent seen this yet.

vmarlany Jan 21 2014 10:17 am this is AMAZING Movie, it could make me laugh and cry. i am so surprised for ending, i love this movie, very recommended movie !!

Balaji Nov 10 2013 10:53 pm One of the best movies I have ever come across.

ronny Oct 17 2013 2:29 pm hey you..who says " THIS MOVIE IS A COPY OF THE HOLLYWOOD FILM HEART AND SOULS [1993]" i wonder you did'nt even have seen the movie "heart and souls" yet , did you!!....and you just hear that from others....am i right! Now YOU LISTEN to me...the main story between "heart and souls" and "hello ghost" are a different...so just because there is a "dead man's soul" in movie "H G" so the director must paying homage? how about the movie "Ghost"(demi more)...the only one who must pay homage is YOU..you have watching this movie for free and you left such a trash statement here...as you know the director awarded "best new director" and you says you hate the director???? who are you?

ronnie Oct 17 2013 11:53 am i am a man, i dont drink soju, and i cried when i watched this movie.

hellosyria Aug 14 2012 5:12 am My brother told me that this was a comedy film but I only laughed for some parts of it. And I was planning to not finished it, but he told me to watch it until the end and just concentrate and then he left for school. I laughed at him and told him I was bored, but I did continue watching it. God I was so silent at the end. I was really moved by the ending and I cried a lot. Very inspiring story for people who lost their loved ones.

belly Jun 25 2012 8:09 am in the first part of the movie, i confused and didnt know the line of the story. but when going to the last part everything got solved and so touching, i never cried before when saw many movies but this movie worked make me cry! kind a good recommendation to fill your movie list.

Ismi Jun 12 2012 7:55 am Speechless.. really enjoying this movie.. make me cry more n more in the last part.. 100 thumbs up!

kit May 02 2012 8:19 pm This movie makes me cry..nice movie..i like the last part..when he knew that those ghost is his family..how touching..

aku anca Apr 26 2012 7:14 pm Ridiculous and very sad story

hanna Apr 08 2012 5:22 pm in the beginning, this movie make me laugh. but at the end, it makes me cry.. So TOUCHING..

aldi Dec 29 2011 8:13 am AMAZING!!

This movie is very touching

toms Dec 28 2011 10:32 am i rarely cry while watching sad movie.. but this movie can make me cry .. very nice movie..

noe no'e Dec 19 2011 8:40 am i cry in end of movie... it so good movie , realize me how much your family loves you.''

Sly Dec 03 2011 5:55 am I watch too many Korean Films that my expectations are always high every time I watch a new one, hence from the middle towards the 3rd part of the film I kept on thinking what was a little bit wrong in the film...bad editing? script? screenplay? then shoot....surprised by the fourth part/ending. DARN, it was another very good Korean film! So, I then realise it wasn't really that there's something wrong in this film while I was watching it, it's just there's something, some element 'missing' and the ending really solved it. WONDERFUL FILM! Go see it!

santika176 Nov 18 2011 6:01 am AMAZING, AWESOME, EPIC ENDING:(:(:(:)

wanke Oct 24 2011 11:09 am i love it so much

julia Oct 15 2011 8:34 pm Putain! I love this movie so muchhhhh, very satisfied!

tome abellera Oct 03 2011 7:25 pm Just watched this movie! i love the great twist in the last part! one of the best so far!

Dave Sep 23 2011 11:29 pm im not a tearjearker in a movie , but this movie really made me cry , especially when sang man hug her mom .

anyeeM229 Aug 23 2011 11:50 pm this nonsensical film bedazzled me with its seemingly random humor first hour-and-half. then, it completely threw me off by making me cry 10 minutes straight at the end when i realized what was going on. those who like light comedy seem to enjoy the first part of the film. although i didn't, i'm glad i beared through it till the end. it was really worth it.

tamo Aug 15 2011 7:08 am funny movie indeed. I laugh and then I really cry at the end. I was still thinking about it the next day. I keep saying wow!

iko Aug 10 2011 8:20 am I bought the dvd coz I saw Cha Tae Hyun there. This movie is beyond expectation. I knew it's a comedy but I was completely blank about the ending which is so touching. Thank God I found this movie. You can laugh, serious, and cry at the same time....!!

jane Aug 06 2011 11:56 am one word : AMAZING

you will never know how amazing this film was until you watch till the very end . the BEST tear jerker movie i've ever watched ! well i guarantee holywood ones won't be as good as compared to the original ones .. just like my sassy girl holywood's version ~

Blaze Jul 18 2011 10:58 pm A splendid movie. I don't really like the ideas of Hollywood remaking Asian movies, though it does benefit them from the change of pace of the usual same old Hollywood movies lately. This movie was brilliant. It delivers you with laughs, but also tears once everything is pieced together. Cha Tae Hyun did not fail his reputation as a comedian actor in this one, though, if I may say, he even outdid his role. Definitely enjoyed it and would recommend this to those who seeks for a family movie!

chandra iman Jul 09 2011 2:06 am very recomended movie!! :D

Christina Jul 03 2011 6:46 am I love this story!!! I bawled my eyes out so hard at the end. Gosh! Recommend it to everyone!!

Kersean808 Jun 18 2011 7:56 am NAHHH ! WHY SHOULD AMERICANS REMAKE IT !??!?! Why Dont They Make A Onother Story Than This !?!?!? ughhh annyoing !! :( Soo sad ...

Reaven Jun 09 2011 4:37 am this movie,, very,,very,,very recomended..... the story like a puzzle,,,,

yume no mela Jun 07 2011 8:50 pm I admit that I'm a tearjerky over dramas but anyone who wouldn't cry for this is a stone.

Cha Tae Hyun , why do you always make cry and laugh at the sametime

waaa I'm crazy..

rajes Jun 04 2011 8:43 pm THIS movie has a twist at the ending part... the ending part can really make you cry.... it is soo touching... i recommend this movie to everyone.
